Delicately colored and boldly patterned, this inventive vintage Moroccan rug features an intimated medallion surrounded by coffered blocks rendered in soft colors.

Moroccan Rug, Morocco, Mid 20th Century – Coffered color blocks executed in contrasting combinations of celeste blue, periwinkle, ivory, stormy Byzantium purple and rosy pink create a sleek tiled background pattern that surrounds the intimated rectilinear medallion. The expansive central medallion depicts a warm chestnut brown quadrant flanked by broad rectilinear compartments rendered in a soft hue of ivory. The intricately patterned field showcases a variety of quirky, irregular compartments that embody a casual air that defies their formal inclinations. Cool-tone color blocks are juxtaposed against warm chestnut brown details, amber-gold accents and charming rosy pink compartments. The bold monochromatic compartments are tastefully accentuated by the shaggy layers of textural ribbed pile.
